The Horse and its wonders.

Submitted by Ben Solis on

In the 1800s, horses were used for just about everything. Horses were ridden into battle and war with soldiers atop them; they were used for transportation, farm and yard work, sports, and hunting. Basically, horses were used for everything at this time because the technology was minimal, and horses were simple and readily available. Horses were often used to pull a buggy or wagons behind them with passengers inside. Before the car, a horse was the most useful form of transportation.

Whitechapel Hospital

This hospital, founded in 1740 and relocated to Whitechapel Road, London in 1757, is the setting for chapter XVIII. In this chapter, Dr. Dunlap Strange takes Mary and Alison here and a very strange thing happens. Mary recognizes one of the patients struggling with rapid consumption as the woman she frequently sees waiting for someone in Regent's Park.

Canterbury/Dover

            Charles Dickens was born in Landport, Hampshire in 1812, but by the age of four or five he and his family had moved to Chatham, Kent where Dickens spent the formative years of his childhood. Kent is a county in South East England that borders Greater London to the northwest, and also shares a border with Essex along an estuary of the River Thames. Within the county of Kent, the District of Dover and the City of Canterbury can be found, two important locations within Dickens’ own David Copperfield.

Blog Post #1 - ENG 910

After the seminar today and the introduction I feel like I am really excited to continue to learn more about the victorian era. There was a sentence today in the zoom call that stood out to me as interesting and it was along the lines of " everything is centred around the victorian era" and while I look back at the course load ive taken to earn my degree I find that it is very true. Many of the texts that i've read center around the victorian era and many of the similar themes can be seen in more modern texts.

Although I have taken a fair share of Victorian centered courses throughout my English career, not one has piqued my interest quite as much as this course. The English program doesn’t offer much variety in the texts we analyze, so I am always eager to explore different forms of storytelling. I find especially with Victorian-period stories, the content tends to be dry and lengthy, and the action is slow burn and heavily influenced by social context.
